It has been a disappointing BBL season overall for Melbourne Stars but there have been positives throughout the campaign. They still have a very talented squad and but for a period of players in isolation, they could well have finished in the top five. We expect to see an unchanged XI in this fixture.
The Stars have struggled for consistency throughout the tournament but could end the season with back to back wins.

The Hurricanes overloaded their batting line-up against Melbourne Renegades on Tuesday and we saw Peter Handscomb coming out to bat at number seven. With the Hurricanes already into the play-offs of BBL 2022, we expect to see them line up in the same way maximise batting practice again
Hobart Hurricanes have won both of their last two games and are coming into form nicely ahead of the play-offs.

Melbourne Stars are narrow favourites to win this game but we are backing Hobart Hurricanes to get the victory.
Many batters on show in this game have had strong competitions. Joe Clarke and Ben McDermott have been the pick of the players on both sides.
Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and Joe Clarke are our batting tips for Melbourne Stars. Clarke has had an excellent first experience of the BBL.
Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade and D’Arcy Short are our batting recommendations for Hobart Hurricanes. McDermott has struck two centuries in the competition.
For Melbourne Stars, Adam Zampa, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Brody Couch are our bowling tips. Zampa is an excellent bowler but particularly so at the MCG.
For Hobart Hurricanes, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane and Tom Rogers are our bowling tips. Rogers has been a regular supply of wickets in the 2021-22 BBL.
Although it is a pity that this is not a winner goes through to the play-offs match, this should be an excellent game between two well matched sides. Our prediction is for a very close game but with Hobart Hurricanes to depart the MCG with a win.
